Annual Testing & Certification...
As you are aware there is a legal requirement for both Strata Companies and Owners Corporations to meet the new legislative requirements for window safety in strata buildings under their care. All windows under your management that pose a risk of a child falling must have been made compliant to meet the new legislation by 13th March 2018.
So what’s the next step for Owners Corporation’s to meet their ‘legal responsibility and duty of care’ in regards to child window safety devices moving forward?
With the government posing $550 fines for non-complying lots and insurance companies refusing to insure non-compliant lots in cases of child falls, it is a serious issue that requires a professional and documented management plan moving forward.
The cost of lifetime care for a child that has injured themselves falling out of a window is estimated to be $10M. If the Owners Corporation can’t prove that the window was compliant (legal responsibility) and that a maintenance schedule (duty of care) was initiated annually, then it can open up the possibility of a heavy financial burden to the SP for the care of that child.
Moving forward post March 2018 this legislation must continued to be met with professionalism and thoroughness.
CSSW offers Owners Corporations an annual compliance schedule and annual certification of your Strata Plan for child window safety devices.
In addition CSSW provides a digital records service to alleviate the load on Strata Companies and Owners Corporations to show proof of every detail of meeting and maintaining the new law. This helps alleviate any 'headaches' in order to keep your units compliant. It also provides peace of mind for Owners Corporations.
Don't expose yourself to possible future litigation by using companies that don't fully understand the legal requirements of meeting the new legislation or don’t provide an ‘annual compliance certificate’ and record’s management service for each and every strata window (as well as common areas) under your care.
